Two National Football League franchises have announced the signing of two former Louisiana Tech University stars.

Announced last weekend as one of nine free agent signees by the Green Bay Packers is wide receiver Myles White, who was the Bulldogs’ No. 2 receiver in 2012 with 56 caches for 718 yards and six touchdowns.

Signing earlier as a free agent with the New England Patriots was punter Ryan Allen, who averaged 45.0 yards per attempt and had a long punt of 85 yards in 2012 when he was named as the Ray Guy Award winner for the second straight year.

The start of Friday’s game was anything but special for the Ruston High School Bearcats.
But the ending was oh so sweet.

After two RHS special teams miscues gave Ouachita Parish High School an early 14-0 advantage, the Bearcats roared back in the second half with Jordan Raggio’s 33-yard goal with 2:05 remaining lifting Ruston to a 17-14 win at L.J. “Hoss” Garrett” Stadium.
Ruston now stands at 5-3 overall and 2-1 in District 2-5A while OPHS fell to 4-4 and 1-2 in district action.
